England thrashed India by 10 wickets while chasing 169 in the 2nd semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022, to cruise through to the finals. England will now face off against Pakistan in the final of the T20 World Cup 2022 on November 13th (Sunday) at MCG.
After losing the match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma said, 'Pretty disappointed how it turned up today. We batted well at the backend to get that score. We were not up to the mark with the ball, we couldn't turn up today. It's all about handling the pressure in knockout games. '.
'All these guys have played enough to understand that. These guys have played under pressure in IPL games, it's all about keeping calm. We were nervy to start with, but you got to give credit to their openers, they played really well. I thought it swung a bit in the first over, but not from the right areas. '
'We know the runs are scored square off the wicket, we were aware about it. When we won the first game, it showed a lot of character. The game against Bangladesh, it was a tricky one. I thought it was difficult defending 85 runs in 9 overs, but we held our nerve and executed our plans. Couldn't do that today, and when you don't execute your plans, you are in trouble.', added Rohit Sharma.
